That was a terrible call by Mizrachi on the turn. His equity with the bluff call can't have been higher than 15%
He has to commit 400,000 in chips, then bet 1,000,000 on the river just to win a pot worth 700,000 when he makes the call on the turn.

[Silent A]

Yeah, I hate the call too. Seems like a fairly obvious push/fold decision to me.

How much do you think the possibility that a J flush back-doored a boat weighed in on Antonius' river decision?

[cmyr]

not much. Looks like Mizrachi is just bad at poker, and has a set the whole way. I can't imagine that being a flat call on the turn from the J-flush... It's more or less as bad with a set.

[Kala1928]

Robert showed a 9-high flush, which against PA seems like a really tricky solid play because bluffing the river is a lot better than calling a bluff. PA folded his a-high flush.

[TheRempel]

Mizrachi, Cunningham, all the 'good' tourney players are bad at PLO.

[cmyr]

but makes calling the turn pretty awful... if he thinks PA is on a bluff (since he's either on a bluff or a high flush) then he should be c/c c/c, whereas if he thinks PA is ahead he should be folding. Maybe I'm just not brilliant enough.

[CrushinFelt]

There's no way he thought his hand was good here. Or, if he did, then he is a moron because he turned his hand into a total bluff on the river.

Also, this was earlier in the night:

Hand #77 - Patrik Antonius Doubles Through Robert Mizrachi

Hand #77 - Patrik Antonius has the button in seat 2, he raises to 280,000, and Mizrachi calls from the big blind. The flop comes {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{10-Spades}, and both players check. The turn card pairs the board with the {J-Diamonds}, Mizrachi checks, Antonius bets 200,000, and Mizrachi calls. The river card is the {9-Clubs}, Mizrachi checks, and Antonius thinks for about 30 seconds before he moves all in for 660,000. Mizrachi studies him for about 15 seconds before he says, "I call."

Antonius shows {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}-x-x for a flopped royal flush. Mizrachi shows 10-10-x-x for a full house, tens full of jacks.

[TheRempel]

It's not a tricky solid play. It's a 'oops I got to the river with this hand and suddenly I realise it's not good, time to bluff'.
